Carnap and His Contribution to Analytical Philosophy

Analytical philosophy which developed in the late 19th century and culminated in the middle of the 20th century is based on three basic approaches: empiricism which is centred on the principle of verifiability, considering logic as a tool, and linguistic analysis. Concentrating on these three approaches, Carnap, one of the brilliant scholars, has played a pivotal role in the development of analytical philosophy. The present paper aims at examining the effect of such great scholars like, Ferge, Russel, Vitgenschtien on Carnap`s analytical philosophy and showing the effect of his approach on the development of analytical philosophy. This paper seeks in its last part to offer a new no-nonsense approach to analytical philosophy by presenting a Carnap`s detailed exposition and innovations in these three areas.
